I had that thought, but only 2 circuits will be to the far wall. & that is only 30' of extra wire to get them there above the ceiling- not that big a deal. Most likely a wash on cost.

It will be a shop & storage, no animals with the exception of the owner. NO interior girts will be present, I'm placing 2x6 bookshelf girts so the 3/4 ply will be mounted to the interior surface of the poles & 2x6's. That 3" is important space ;) I'm thinking 3/4" holes through the center of...

I found a thread from many years ago on running romex in a Pole Building, which really didn't give any direct answers. I know almost all is determined by what the local inspector wants, but here is my plan & question. My walls will be covered in 3/4" plywood up to 8' with a reinforced vapor...

I made up some long cable with clamps on one end for battery and eyelets on the other to bolt to my winch leads. Just pull them out when I use the winch and pop the hood. My winch is set up in a 2" receiver also.

Framing complete!! Few more boards left for OH door jams and around man door. 🎉

Four more braces this morning & perlins on the porch and framing will be 100% Took the weekend off and rode a "little" bike ride for Make-A-Wish Michigan 302.5 Miles with my wife and brother in law - Such a rewarding event & great community If you feel so inclined to support our fund raising...

Porch is sized for a few chairs and a small end table for a 🍺. And of course to cover entry for when it’s raining. Don’t need anything bigger than that. Patio has all the stuff you mentioned up at the house.

Great day

Bracing & truss layout done. South side (left) is out 1/16” on length 😬. North side is 7/8”. For my first pole building I’ll take that 😎 Tomorrow rest of my stone will be spread, 48 tons hauled yesterday. Trusses are scheduled to be set next Wednesday 🎉

Framing done Time for Trusses (After a bit of bracing and layout)

New Lift charger showed up UPS today. Swapped it in and lift is back charging. Back to work in the morning ;)

While waiting on lift parts, I spread some more recycled concrete to level the building pad. Got it really close but ran short on material. Time to get hauling a few more loads.

Yes they are laminated & by design they are not nailed the top 2 feet for trimming and fitting to trusses.

Day 4 of construction was today, lift worked great. Only if the charger worked 🤬. Gonna call for a service call tomorrow. Hope it’s something simple.

1/2 day today….heading out for a week with the kids & grandkids on Saturday. Have to get the weeks normal chores done and pack. Skirt boards, Rotbloc installed & holes topped off. Need to regrade some. But first some 🎣 & 🍺 for a week

Day 3 & All poles are planted 😎 My father in law and I set them all. Honest days work for sure.

House does already have fiber service. I will likely move forward with my plan as mentioned above. Fiber & power come from two different locations. So likely 2 trenches. Water is still being thunk on, don’t need it out there & would only be a frost free yard hydrant at corner of shop. I...

Productive day over 1/2 the poles set. Starting to get a feel for the size 😎👍🏻

Layout & holes done today. Start setting poles in the morning
